It goes without saying that pedals are one of the most important features on a bicycle, but that shouldn't mean they need to be complicated. So what makes a good pedal? Durability for one - plastic pedals will fall apart over time (hopefully not while you're riding, but you don't really get to choose when); good grip matters just as much and a large enough, stable platform.

49N's DLX Trekking Pedal ticks all those boxes. Its studded aluminium construction offers stiffness and durability while staying lightweight and corrosion-proof while a strong chromoly axle with sealed cartridge bearings means you'll be pedalling along smooth as ever for time to come, and then some.

• Durable, lightweight aluminium body
• Studded for grip
• Sealed cartridge bearings for continuous smooth motion
• 9/16" (standard diameter) CNC machined chromoly axle
